Elvert Barnes Photography
A.J is a ninth grade student at H.O Nash. He did the technical drawing for the candlesticks in the background.
Shuna noticed the style similarity of coffee cup logos of Portland. I was struck by all the window designs. I could have taken a photo from just about every single place I went: restaurant, bakery, boutique, bookstore, or shoe shop. Some were curlicues or informational, business name, menu items, or graphics. For some reason, I liked the window designs even better from within, all backwards and with the sky and street behind them.
This one is yet another photo from Redwing Bakery. It looks like "w b", but is "d w" reversed as I was taking the photo inside.

DSU resolves to stand in solidarity and strengthen the fight against the ·entrenched feudal forces whichcan only ensure real justice to the struggling masses, while also exposing the betrayals of the revisionist forces.8) In the context of the mounting assaults upon workers across the country through rampant contractualization and scuttling of even the.

teed rights, right to unionize or other labour laws, the JNU workers also face similar plights. The sheer violations inte~m~ of den1~1 of m~n1mum wages, ESI/PF or the pathetic working conditions in our own campus are just few examples. DSU resolves toreinVIgorate th1s cruml struggle for workers' right in JNU, forge concrete solidarities with the workers and work towards the building of a unionand workers' cooperative in the coming days.

i?n of the economic crisis, the sector of education, especially higher education, constitutes an extremely lucrative.
source of profit max1m1zatron for the ruling classes in the country today. While the state pulls out m.
'ore than ever from education with severefund cuts and mushrooming,of private universi.
ties and colleges, a further series of bills are in the pipeline in the parliament that would ensurethat education remains out of the reach of a large section of the people. In order to bulldoze these measures without any opposition, there is.
an undeclared emergency in the campuses and the right of the students to unionize has been severely curbed, either directly or through the.
dra~onian Lyngdoh Committee Recommendations. Inside and outside the campus, DSU resolves to actively mobilize students and youthaga1nst privatization and commercialization of education. In the campus, DSU resolves to intensify the fight against the administration'sattempt of fee hikes, imposing various kinds of indirect fees, corporate model of JNU press, attacks on progressive shop allotment policy andfor increasing MCM scholarships, for deprivation points to muslim students, reduction of viya-voce. Given that the revisionist left in the.
campus, represented by AI SA and SFI, has completely given up the fight against the draconian Lyngdoh Committee Recommendations, DSUresolves to be in the forefront of the fight against it to reclaim our JNUSU constitution and the vibrant students' movement..

various movements fighting against the caste oppression and for the annihilation of caste. DSU also resolves to take initiatives to build broadbased struggles against caste discrimination inside and outside the campus..
12) The biggest contribution of the Naxalbari peasant uprising was its decisive blow to revisionism. Since then till date the revolutionarymovement has exposed the crass opportunism and betrayals of the parliamentary revisionist 'left' -CPI, CPM or CPI(ML) Liberation and.
others. These forces over the last s'.
ix decades have only served to blunt class struggles thereby strengthening the hands of the oppressivesystem. Both inside and outside the campus, DSU resolves to continue to shoulder the responsibility of exposing and defeating revisionist.
politics in front of the masses.13) The re-instatement of the archaic Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code and the criminalization of homosexuality by the Supreme Courtlast year is a major setback to all progressive and democratic people in the country. Both inside and outside the campus, DSU resolves tostrengthen the fight against section 377 and the daily harassment and injustice meted out to the LGBTIQ people..
DSU realizes that the coming crucial battles cannot be fought without simultaneously exposing the revisionist and election-centric.
politics of AISA, DSF and SFI. For the last more than a year, the JNU administration has repeatedly shielded those found guilty of sexualharassment, especially when they hapgen to be people in ,influential positions. The unwillingness of the present AISA led JNUSU, or theprevious DSF-AISA led JNUSU, to cpl'lfront th~ administration to implement GSCASH verdicts or to launch a sustained agitation f?r thei.mportant dem~nd raised by DSW of ma!<jng thSJ GSCASH deci.sions binding upon the administration has only exemplified how they are !ted upin an umbilical cord with the powers thpt be. As a result, the administration has been emboldened to such an extent that it is now questioningthe very expertise and authority of our hard won democratic institutions like GSCASH, by constituting committees to enquire into GSCASH.
verdicts. Compromises, surrender, desertion of struggles comes'naturally to the opportunist politics to AI SA and SFI, especially when there.
are sh?rp polarizations in the campus. The campus has not forgotten how in the face of attacks by ABVP, administration and the state on. JNU.

'disassociated' from the Forum in April 2010 and later, in 201 1 when the JNU administration passed an unprecedented ban on the Forum, SFIwas not even part of a movement which successfully fought the administration against this gag order-both profiling it as a 'Maoist' front at.
different times as per their own convenience. In the coming days with the rise of fascist forces, such attacks on our hard won democraticspaces and institutions are bound to increase and DSU sees it as its responsibility to resolutely fight and defeat all such attacks. The ~ghtagainst the draconian Lyngdoh Committee Recommendations (LCR) and to reclaim our JNUSU constitution is central in this fight. LCR a1msto debilitate and weaken the vibrant students' movement of our campus to pave way for unrestrained privatization and commercialization ofeducation. Last few years have seen how in the fight against LCR, the strategy of AISA and SFI has been to backstab the movement fromwithin. Ever since SU elections were held as per LCR from March 2012, on the premise that this was only to be an 'interim' measure,consecutive JNUSUs far from building any movement have only attempted to normalize LCR in the campus, notwithstanding some an~ualtokenism. In the last couple of years, it has become amply clear that forces which cannot fight against LCR can never fight aga1~st.
privatization or for any other genuine students' .
issue. When it comes to the extremely crucial demand for deprivation points to Muslimstudents raised by DSU, these forces have only been sidelining the demand for otherwise it would antagonize their right wing vote bank. Asfar as their 'commitment' to fight for the increment of MCM is concerned, it has been amply revealed to the campus over the past one year..
OSU in the coming days will work towards mobilizing and consolidating the student community under the guiding princi~les of.
~arxism-Leninism-Maoism to collectively face the challenges ahead, and to integrate with the larger movement for a revolutt~narysocial transformation. Taking forward the legacy of Naxalbari and inspiration from revolutionary· martyrs like Com. Bhagat Smgh,.Com. Charu Mazumdar, Com, Anuradha Gandhi, -Com~Saketh Rajao, Com. Naveen Babu, Com. Janardhan and thousands of otherswho laid down their lives for the liberation of the oppressed masses, DSU reaffinns its resolve to car.ry forward the banner ofrevolutionary students' movement. ' .

One of my favorite shots from Muir Woods (from inside an ancient tree). And Muir Woods was my favorite part of the trip. Sigh.
There's more than one location of Pix Patisserie, and we went to two of them during my weekend in Portland. I needed another fix of the Pixies n' Cream ice cream flavor: their layered pixie treat of pistachio, raspberry jam, and almond paste cookie chopped and mixed into pistachio flavor ice cream.
Damn.
I miss it already.
A shot before the umbrella collapse - my fault, should have continued shooting this amusing scene...
"I can feel it closing in. It is coming from within."
It is scary sometimes what we find within ourselves...
The Empowered person is aware of anything that tries to externalise their power.
They know that true power comes from within and to externalise is to give that power away.
